SJ has certainly been spectacular so far but lost in all that well-deserved hype is the fact that RHT could be any kind as well based on his first 4 starts.
He certainly has done nothing wrong to date and missing the Derby may gave been the best thing that could have happened to him.
With some better pre-race behavior, and a decent trip (he has had bad trips in his last 2) and a forward move in the Belmont (given his strong line with only 1 pt improvement off his first route race ever along his distance pedigree he has a decent shot to improve significantly) he may just make SJ earn his place in history.
It should definitely be a great day for racing at Belmont.
